[Bug]: (UI) Settle button and Snooze icon overlap long thread directory names #4763

Description

Description

When a thread's directory/folder name is long, the Settle button and the clock icon overlap the directory name text in the thread list sidebar. This makes both the path and the actions hard to read/click.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open a workspace folder that is nested inside a git repo (not the git root).
  2. Example layout:
    • A/ — git root
    • A/B/ — folder opened in the app
  3. In this case the displayed folder name can become very long (org/repo-style naming from the git remote).
  4. Look at the thread list item: the directory chip runs under Settle and the clock icon.

Expected Behavior

Directory name and action controls (Settle, clock) should not overlap. Long names should truncate or fade out so actions remain readable and clickable.

Suggested Fix

Add a left-to-right background fade/blur (or gradient mask) behind the Settle button and clock icon so the overflowing directory name softens underneath them instead of colliding with the text.

Environment

  • App version: 0.0.29 (stable)
  • OS: macOS

Severity

Minor UX inconvenience — does not block core workflows, but hurts readability on threads with long paths.
